Quotes 

• Dino Ciampa : [referring to James Coughlin's murder conviction]  When the judge asked him why he did it, he said: "I didn't like the kid." Served nine years for manslaughter.

• [Dino shows Frawley a file on Desmond Elden] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Desmond Elden?

  Dino Ciampa : Yeah. Works at Vericom. Never seen the inside of a jail cell. Now, most of these guys get no-show jobs. They take the armored truck, foreman goes, "Yeah, guy was here yesterday," and shows us a forged time card. But they can't play them games at Vericom 'cause it's a public company. If you don't show up it's a recorded sick day. And 'Dezzy' here has some interesting sick days: Bank Boston. Cummins Armored. Arlington Brinks. Cambridge Merchants.

  [He hands surveillance stills to Frawley, who sits down at his desk and looks at them] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Jesus Christ.

• [as Doug, Dez, Coughlin, and Gloansy have a small gathering, Frawley and Dino take photos of them from their car with a long-range camera] 

  Dino Ciampa : [voice-over]  Desmond Elden. Systems tech at Vericom. 22 years old.

  [Cuts to Frawley and Dino briefing their agents. They bring up Gloansy's images on the projector] 

  Dino Ciampa : Albert Magloan. Only in Boston is a guy named "Albert Magloan".

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Mr. Magloan never met a car he couldn't boost. The kind of talented individual who can start your Cherokee for you while you're still looking for your keys.

  [as he says that, a black-and-white flashback is shown of Gloansy breaking into a car. Coughlin's mugshot comes up on the projector] 

  Dino Ciampa : James Coughlin. Father was killed in prison. Mother died HIV. Shot Brendan Leahey by the cemetery behind Mishawum when he was eighteen years old. Bled it out. When the judge asked him why he did it, he said, "I didn't like the kid." Served nine years for manslaughter.

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : These guys plan and execute with sophistication and discipline, and that is not our boy Coughlin.

  [produces photos of Doug] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : We think the architect is this guy: Coughlin's best friend, Doug MacRay.

  Dino Ciampa : He lives in the same house, dated Coughlin's sister, who most likely mules to the Florist, who used to employ MacRay's father. You need a fucking venn diagram for these people.

  [Stifled chuckles come from the agents] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Mac, Senior got life for the Nashwood job which most of you should remember. Hijacked a bread truck up to New Hampshire. One guard saw his face, so, they executed both of them with their own weapons. I think Mac's legacy is now no A-car driver's allowed to leave the cab, even if there's a gun to his partner's head.

  Dino Ciampa : Young MacRay did eight months easy for going over the counter of a Bay Bank with a nail gun after he washed out from pro hockey.

  Agent Quinlan : Pro hockey?

  Dino Ciampa : Yeah. He was a big deal for a minute. Got drafted, went to camp but here's the shocker: he started makin' trouble, fightin' with guys.

  Agent Quinlan : Don't they pay you to fight in hockey?

  Dino Ciampa : Not the guys on your own team.

  [the other FBI agents laugh] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : MacRay came home. Got into the family business. Same song: got into Oxycon. Hockey ship sailed with the narcotics. Now, we're a long way away from a grand jury here. And we'll never get 24 hour surveillance unless one of these idiots converts to Islam. So we build the case. All right, let's get to work.

• [Frawley, Dino and a Vericom crew chief are looking up at another crew member examining the hacked junction box above the bank that was robbed] 

  Vericom Crew Chief : They obviously knew how to work the box, but I like the way they zapped the bipper to the D-5 Station.

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : How does one learn how to do that?

  Vericom Crew Chief : Get a job with Vericom.

  Dino Ciampa : Okay.

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Thank you.

  [the crew chief walks away] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Let's subpoena work logs, employee records. Start with everyone who lives in the Town.

  Dino Ciampa : Got it.

• [Dino and Frawley observe the scene of the Cambridge Merchants robbery] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : So, what's up?

  Dino Ciampa : Boosted a city work van. Still hasn't been reported stolen.

  [They examine the van used for cover] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Probably too busy working.

  Dino Ciampa : Used the van to screen the door. Bleached the entire place with DNA. Kills all the clothing fibers so we can't get a match. Silent bell came from cage number two. Assistant Manager's at Beth Israel. Our guys waited for the time lock to expire, then they had the manager open sesame.

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Under duress?

  Dino Ciampa : I don't know.

  [They take a look at the open vault] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Ten foot steel safe, only as strong as the guy with the key.

  [He eyes the dye packs] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Found the dye pack and the tracers.

  [Frawley's BlackBerry goes off. He looks at the message] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Found the van. Torched.

  Dino Ciampa : Where is it?

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Where do you think?

  [cuts to an overhead shot of firefighters hosing down the van Doug's crew had used; Frawley and Dino arrive at the scene] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Nice to be back home, Dino?

  Dino Ciampa : Yeah. It's all the love I get that makes the homecoming feel so warm. Fifty people here; eyewitness sees these guys. You'll get fifty hands on a Bible, say they never saw nothing.

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : It's a pro job. All the pro guys I know are away, so... I guess we have new pro guys. The part of the job where we get to do something that has no point and yields no results.

  [calls out to the crowd] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Excuse me! Did anybody see who lit this van on fire?

• [Frawley is describing to Claire how he knows where the bank robbers who kidnapped her probably came from] 

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : With guys like this - hardcore guys - 90% of them eminate from a one square mile neighborhood called Charlestown. Familiar with it?

  [Claire looks at a map and realizes that it's the neighborhood she lives in] 

  Claire Keesey : You must be kidding me!

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : Dino, what's the first thing BPD does whenever there's an armored car robbery in the city?

  Dino Ciampa : Close the Charlestown Bridge.

  FBI S.A. Adam Frawley : He's from Charlestown.

  Dino Ciampa : They make it over, they use each other's houses. They're like rats.

• [after the initial shootout that kills Gloansy and Dez] 

  Police Captain : I don't know if we're dealing with some kind of a fucking genius here, but security... Security is saying they got hit by cops.

  Dino Ciampa : Cops?

  Police Captain : Yeah. Two cops, they said.

  [Frawley starts looking around, scanning uniformed cops]
